To switch your HITs using external questions to the production Mechanical Turk system, set the destination URL for the form action to be:

https://www.mturk.com/mturk/externalSubmit

Example for SOAP:

If you are using Apache Axis as your SOAP toolkit, you can override the service endpoint with the following method:
// Set up the web service client
AWSMechanicalTurkRequesterLocator locator = new AWSMechanicalTurkRequesterLocator();

//This is the production endpoint
//String serviceURL = "https://mechanicalturk.amazonaws.com?Service=AWSMechanicalTurkRequester";

HITs and Qualifications that are inactive in the sandbox for more than 60 days will be permanently deleted.

Load or performance testing your Mechanical Turk application using the Developer Sandbox is not allowed. If you have a special need, please contact us here to specify your special circumstance. You will be contacted by a member of our team to discuss your requirements.
